hi everybody I have tried to root my xperia x8 because i wanted to update the android version to 2.1 , i downloaded the superoneclick 1.5.1 and i did all the steps i've read here but at the end it says "FAILED the device was not rooted" and in my phone it appears the superuser aplication but i can't access to the root explorer because this message appears:"Root explorer has not yet managed to obtain root access.Because of issues with Superuser, this often happens the first time the app is run but is usually fine from then on."
I have no idea of what is happening , i did all the steps:i put my phone in debug mode , then connect the phone and click "root" and it is still not rooted :S
If someone can help i would be very happy , i'm about to become crazy :S
HI
If you have android v1.5 Donut and you want to upgrade too android 2.1 just install PC Companion (Sony Ericson software that you get with the phone in the box) and let the aplication search for any update of firmware for X8.
actually i have 1.6 version i've tried to update it with pc companion but it says that it has the latest version....
Where do You live?
You have tried to update your phone via PC companion?
PC companion>Support zone>start> ... And it says that u have latest software?
Check phone status do You really have 1.6?
I live in Peru
yes i've tried that and i still have the firmware version in 1.6
help me please
You don't need to root your android to do the upgrade.. xD just upgrade with sony ericsson update service, and after that you can root your phone normally using 2.1 firmware..
Although, you need to substituite a file in superoneclick: "thecage.." to "neuter" but rename to the original.. (sorry if i can't explain well, but i'm portuguese and i'm 16.. xD) search on the forum or wait so i can post the zip file already working, because i don't have it on my phone..

He's in peru and it might not be updated there. There's no such thing as world availablity for sony-ericsson - it's different all over.
My best guess for you would be to use the flash from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962014
There's at least 3 links to it, not sure if the torrent is still working.
It's set as russian CDA number, but you can change that - look on x8 forums for way to change CDA (don't have time to help with that just now )
also LuisDias, as he's from peru he might be able to understand some of your portoguese
Peru? I didn't read that part.. XD anyway, i can speak spanish if he didn't understand portuguese.. xP

You can flash with E15i firmware and then flash X8a baseband that you can find in thread in my signature bellow
...maybe there is a way to update with pc companion like he is in Europe...
And I read about updating from other country on development section.
Easy way it's changing the SI number so it solves it like a workaround, still i'm not sure if it provides his language (i think it does) after that he can even install froyo or ginger eh
There are lot's of tutorials with infos to do it right in dev section, check them out.
well... actually i have the flash tool and i found this firmware "X8 Shakira E15i_2.1.1.A.0.6_generic.ftf" but my xperia has the e15a version if flash it with this firmware what would happen?
you should get android 2.1.... and to your root issues you should set usb on debugging mode and you mustn´t mount sd card just set charge phone instead.
so no matter if mi xperia is e15a and the firmware i would use in the flash tool is e15i

Sorta new to this forum .. Anyways I tried debranding my Sony X10 using the method over at xperiax10(dot)net .. Followed everything in order to get .16 update , didn't show up .. So i tried their rebranding method , so the X10i downloaded the Japanese files .. and put my phone from an X10i to an SO-01B .. it says you can just rebrand your software using the backupfiles from the debranding method .. So I go to SEUS AND Pc Companion and try the repair option .. on SEUS there is NO repair option .. and with PCC , I only get as far as update .. because it keeps telling me " Cannot download your files , please check your connection and try again " I tried and tried again for like almost half an hour , no luck .. I'm trying my best to figure this out .. But can't seem to I don't want to be stuck with japanese stuff on my phone .. it doesn't have landscape text either Any help would be appreciated !
i think i might be getting somewhere , but still the same problem .. im trying through pc companion and i look at my task manager ( win 7 ) .. when it says "updating do not disconnect" the SEMSC OMSI MODULE.EXE quits by itself .. so what i tried was to run it through program files .. it got me somewhere for like 5 mins , then failed .. so idk if i have the right idea ..
Ideas anyone ? I'm thinking of getting rid of this phone because of the japanese software that has been loaded ..
Why u used the japanese files??????? try this http://www.xperiax10.net/2010/04/28/rebranding-your-xperia-x10-tutorial/

Docomo SO-01B
Went to Docomo with my rooted xperia SO-01B - the y could not figure out how to upgrade... I had forgotten to unroot .... they were so flustered and could not figure out the problem...so they just gave me a new one. Have rooted the new one (2.1) and about to debrand .. Any howto`s for debranding upgraded DOCOMO experia SO-01B?
1st of all what model is it (X10i, X10a, SO-1B)?
If it's not a SO-1B device and you flashed it with SO-1B firmware, then obviously SEUS and PCC won't recognize your device.
In general only flash accordingly matching firmware on your device.
If you know what you're doing then you can experiment with what ever firmware you wan't. But sounds like you don't really know what you were doing when flashing your device.
Hi, guys
One guy at another forum uploaded package for EMMA and he says that it's Android 2.1 for X10
here is link for that package/rom: http://www21.zippyshare.com/v/64881864/file.html
he also provided a screenshot: http://dl.4pda.ru/forum/dl/post/663738/IMAG0043.jpg
is it really android 2.1? and if it is, how to flash device with it?
thanks
well its an esa file, i opened it with winrar and was able extract another file from it but this file has no extention.. so im not sure what to do with it now
well I see it is on Russian language,I think you need EMMA for flashing,wait for few more days till real update will be released,if we could wait 6 months few more days is not a problem,well at least not for me
Do you have a link to said site?

We have the rom (or not) but can't use it?!
Saaaaaddd....
I heard that the official Update will be available at second of november.
Tomorow i will try an update via Emma an tell you if its allready possible

sorry for that bad english
Wow... speechless hope this works

Can we keep discussion of the 2.1 update in the 2.1 thread. its right there at the top of the forum
Guys i recived a tweet from SE Chile, well at least SE LAM saying the firmware was ready to update from all xperia x10a unbranded, now i need to know , if the 026 generic for x10a will update inmediatlly or i'll have to modify the build.prop with some numbers, in the moment i get 2.1 will decrypt the rom , and upload it... so if you can help me a little would be apriciated.
Regards
Have you tried SEUS and see if an update is available?
Hope we have a decrypted X10a ROM soon.
trying now, i almost brick my phone downgrading, you all guys should downgrade to a x10i version, i got that by using the 026 LAM , and almost get stuck :S
well bricked again T_T... i think its because when i use the new flash tool, it try to load the kernel but skip it, in the old firmwares never had a kernel.sin
any ideas?
You need to flash to 1.6 using the old flash tool. The new one isn't capable of flashing back to 1.6 as there was some changes that had to be made to make it work with 2.1 that made it incompatible with 1.6 for the moment.
Cheers, Brett
yep, thanks, i thought that so, i already started to flash again with an old flashtool , we'll see what happend
It's supose that the actualization is via PC companion, well i can't even make it rapair my phone..., beside that it keeps teling me that i have the lastest software, but in SE say that they release it... now, when the nordic firmware came up, they modified the build.prop with some especific numbers, if some one knows about that, could tell how to get the rights numbers... or were did they get them before the actualization?

no TIM logo, it shows SE logo. So it could be Generic LAM FW, but in the customer-region list says 1234-4836 is a TIM. i'm not sure but it's not important

Which SI-Number do you have? Are you sure that it is not 2.0.1?
Edit: Seems that it's already availbile for X10 Users. Please share SI-Number. Any big changes in it?
no its 2.0.2.A.0.24...and when i installed on the boot showed some number 3...afterwars there was a app called 3apps..im confused...lol
i dont know where is this and what is it SI number...
How to find your SI-Number: open your phone and remove battery. Where your battery was there is a note:
For example:
Sony Ericsson E15i
SI 1244-4555 (<-My SI-Number)
Anyways: Try rooting your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746
but why is this number important? so is this softare the newes or what? im confused :S
That we can change our numbers and get the update, too
it seems that you have a Chinese ROM. also had (I installed it by flasher x10) and it was a plain, unmarked soft. in which country you live, what you operator that gave you the Chinese system? sorry for english
2.0.2.A.0.24 old firmware. New is 2.1.1.A.0.6
SI number is: 1244-3258.
Im from Croatia.
So is this firmware good or bad?...i still want to instar xrecovery & JIT ?!???
but why then seus installs older firmware??? i want the newest...
You could update your phone changing SI or installing custom Rom using xrecovery. (It should work on your firmware, too)
can you please give me the link for this?
and what is the LATEST x8 firmware? tnx
here is the list of x8 certified firmwares, not all of them been released for public
latest released is 2.1.1.A.0.6
yeah but i want to update it. so is better to change SI number or with xrecovery...? i think with recovery is easyer,please some links and infos. tnx

Seus will install update based on that number. It is stored in software so you can change it. Semc release firmware different in different region. Search this forum for how to change it

To repair your phone you just need to have the physical buttons working
Go to SEPCC / Sony Support Zone -> Software update -> repair phone (might be some other translations or words, as i am translating from the german version)
Go through the steps, and you will be asked to connect your phone in flashmode, which you can access by pressing and holding the back button while you turn on your phone.
After you do that, you have to wait for downloads etc to finish, and SEUS will flash back to stock.
edit: You will loose your personal data, which is stored on the phone.. Your SD Card will be untouched though

with using SEUS (PC Companion) you as a person won't have to flash anything, it will be downloaded and flashed automatically by Sony.
